President Russell M. Nelson has repeatedly and consistently taught the power and importance of families. He has emphasized that “home-centered, Church-supported integrated curriculum has the potential to unleash the power of families,” and has promised that as you “diligently work to remodel your home into a center of gospel learning, … children will be excited to learn and to live the Savior’s teachings ….” These “changes in your family will be dramatic and sustaining.” We have felt impressed as a stake council to host a series of parenting workshops in the coming year to help support parents as they strive to follow President Nelson’s counsel. The overall goal is to fortify our families along the covenant path and each workshop will tackle a particular topic. Here is the tentative schedule and list of topics and speakers: -January 29: Helping Children Develop Strong Mental Health and Emotional Resilience (Kristen Murray) -April 16: Helping Children with Difficult Gospel Questions (Bruce and Marie Hafen) -June 25: Preparing the Rising Generation for the Temple (Bishop and Monica Sedgwick, Marc and Cathy Andraszczyk) -September 17: Helping Children Prepare for Full-Time Missionary Service (President and Sister Davis, President and Sister Ward) -October 29: Defending Young Minds Against Pornography (Kristen Jenson) -December 3rd: How to Help Children Build Their Foundation on Christ (President and Robin Evanson) The format will be a short presentation, followed by questions, answers, and counseling together. Bring your questions and your challenges. These workshops are not in any way mandatory, but all are invited – parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. We are confident this effort will help strengthen parents in the stake in their sacred roles as fathers and mothers. With much love, Laguna Niguel Stake Presidency
